Caves: Processes, Development and Management

This book is aimed at students of the natural environment, but it will also appeal to those - cavers, environmental managers and field naturalists - who are curious about the underground world and its inhabitants. it is illustrated throughout with photographs, maps and line diagrams, almost all of which are original to the book.

David Gillieson is Senior Lecturer in the School of Geography and Oceanography, University College, University of New South Wales. He has previously held appointments at the University of Queensland and the Australian National University. Over the last twenty five years he has explored and studied caves in Australasia, Europe, North America, Oceania and Southeast Asia.

"Provides the most comprehensive description of karst management
yet encountered in an English language text ... a welcome addition
to the bookshelves of cavers and karst scientists alike" Chas
Yonge

"A valuable and timely addition to the speleological literature
and seems destined to become entrenched as the standard of its
time." Progress in Physical Geography

"More than 20 years have elapsed since publication of the previous
English-language book to treat the science of caves, so the time
was ripe for a good review ... Gillieson provides it here."
Derek Ford, Ground Water

"In this book there is a lot that is useful and intersting to
everyone, from theorist to practical person. Gillieson's book is an
excellent and useful work as much for students as for karstologists
and experts. Everyone can find a lot that is new and interesting."
Andrej Kranjc, Acta Carsologica

"Reading through this book I found that I suddenly understood
things which I had previously found a bit of a mystery. One of the
really attractive things about this book is its price. It is
available at... a fraction of the cost of most textbooks." Clive
Wells, The International Caver
